To promote stable, constructive labor-management relations through the resolution and prevention of labor disputes in a manner that gives full effect to the collective-bargaining rights of employees, unions, and agencies.

This matter is before the Authority on an
exception to an award of Arbitrator Francis X. Quinn filed by the Union under
section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the
Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Regulations. The Agency filed an
opposition to the Union's exception.

Under section 7122(a) of the Statute, an
award is deficient if it is contrary to any law, rule, or regulation; or it is
deficient on other grounds similar to those applied by Federal courts in
private sector labor-management relations. Upon careful consideration of the
entire record in this case, the Authority concludes that the award is not
deficient on any of the grounds raised in the exception and set forth in
section 7122(a).
